37As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. 38So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.

And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?
